Yeah, I think so. There might be a little info dump after since the launch is now in November, but it won't be much. This place is going to be crazy during PAX.
Also, did anyone confirm if the LE armor is ODST? It kinda looked like it. If so, I'm glad I got that one, sucks we won't be able to get the unicorn armor though.

I want my Mark V armour :'(
No, it's not in the game at all

I must have missed something. Is it exclusive somewhere?

Maybe they could modify the betrayal system a bit based on power weapons/ordnance. They apparently have systems in place to reward medals for stealing peoples' ordnance, getting your own back, etc. so just ramp up the chance of the betrayal boot option appearing if you just killed a dude on your team that just picked up his Sniper/Rockets/Promethean Chopper or whatever.

Wow that is coming together nicely.. Out of curiosity, what are you using for instructions on what to do?
Visually it looks better, but Im not sure why they would go and change that just to change it.
Yes! There is no way there wont be a US version of this, correct?
Thats a strange thing to do.. All he needed to do was significantly slow down his posts, and try to contribute a bit more with them.

a zoojoo made the sacrifice that would bring us all together
truly, he was the best of us all
Now Demon has no one to contest him as the multi-quote master

A good thing they could do is make it so if your team mate betrays you/helps the enemy lower your health they are unable to pick up your weapon. At least then it would stop the annoying people who betray you when you pick up the sniper/rockets.
Seriously, thanks for this.

That's actually a pretty damn good idea..
RIP zoojoo - How long is he banned for?
-EDIT-
Hey heckfu, wanna play some Reach with me and a friend? ;]
Looks like a perma-ban.
Yeah, shoot me a message later if I'm on and I'll invite you to our games.
Speaking of the betrayal system, I had a game the other day on Reflection (Super Slayer) that was very close. Every time our team would go up a point, one of our team mates would kill himself. He was determined to not let us win the game. I gotta hand it to him, it was quite the masterful way to troll lol. Way more effective than just betraying because this way we couldn't boot him.
They should definitely incorporate a boot system for suicides. But it would have to be one that recognized it was an accident so I don't think just 2 suicides would work. It's rare, but people may commit suicide by accident twice in a match. Perhaps a limit of 4 would be ok. Or you could have a more intelligent system. For example, if a person has equal or less than zero kills by the mid way point of the match (either score or time) and then commits suicide, boot option appears.
Or, if by the second suicide they still have negative kills, then give the boot option. Hopefully 343 has put some thought into this.

I will betray anyone who yoinks me.
People have done that for ages to de-rank. Happened all the time in H3, the only downside for them is the respawn time.

In Halo 2 you could set your handicap and stand next to them nading themselves and boot them that way.
Stephen's alt?
I wish I could find that Fonzi clip.
Yeah, but derankers could also use it to kill themselves faster. Kinda glad they took that feature out.

hahah Brings back memories. What a useless feature made useful because of betrayers/derankers, unless they used it themselves.

Good morning.
That was a set i built for The Running Riot when they interviewed 405th Source (it was intended for the Ascendant Justice interview). I found it with a search on bnet so i never figured out how they did it. I assume they pushed a 2 way teleporter out of the map.
Grifball will not have a launch playlist. For once, and once only, i know more than FyreWulff.
Too late for Halo 4 but betrayal booting should be tied to hit detection. If a teammate is consistently pinging your shields and bashing in your vehicles, then you shove a rocket down his throat, bringing his boot screen up. It should backfire and boot HIM.

edit: to be clear, I was basing my assumption off that post, which I guess can be interpreted a couple of ways.

In a previous post I made about Halo 4 having Disc 1 being all Campaign, Theater & Disc 2 having MP, Forge, Theater. (speculation)
What if the setup would be very similar to ME 2/3 for Xbox 360?

I don't think Halo has THAT much voice acting. Pretty sure it'll be the Forza model of the second disc installing data that the first disc can read.
If it is the second-disc-installs model, it'd be really nice if they released a Map Pack Disc down the road that installs all of the Halo 4 MP maps AND all 3 DLC packs.
That Halo 4 gamefuel looks... gross. The shade of orange is too bright. I still hope it comes to the US.
Wow, the Mtn Dew page for the US is full of LOL SK8R BROS SMOKE WEED ERRYDAY XDD SO EDGY, while the UK page seems to be posting stuff about the soda, not the people endorsing it.

He means that was their actual scores. They went -12, -15.

You need a perk to teamkill confirmed.
He said there wouldn't be one (as mentioned above), however there wasn't one for Reach until the demand was there for it. If the Grifball communities demand it enough, I'd say it's a good possibility that it would make a return, although with modified features to not encourage stat padding. I like the idea of medals not counting in that playlist, maybe not even counting K/D's, where the only thing that matters or has an impact on your stats/record is winning or losing. With the numerous Grifball "leagues" (the big three that I can think of off the top of my head are GrifballHub, National Grifball League, and the American Grifball League of America - all of which are decently populated), I'm sure they'll lobby hard and long (TWSS) for a playlist in Halo 4 once they create the right gametype and get some maps rolling in.
Also, I saw Chumlee once. Didn't hear him say anything or try and talk to him. But I saw him.

While I was banned I read through some of the early Reach OTs, and I swear, 70% of the posts were people complaining about shitty playlist management. And armor lock. And bloom.
He didn't request it lol. He was just stating that he would take the criticism and not argue to not further shit up this thread. At least that's how I saw it.

Both Discs has the same menu setup, but once the game requires you to input the other disc in order to progress through its campaign further.
I haven't known that before till now. Interesting.

<3 that map
Well I imagine there's layers of discussions re: Grifball. Managing my NDA layers re: Halo stuff is getting annoying enough as it is. I swear I need to write down a checklist at some point, or route all my internet traffic to 127.0.0.1 5 weeks from now.
I would guess it would come to the US. It'd be weird as hell if Pepsi promoted Halo in Europe but CoD in the US.
Not sure if you know or not, that's because Guardian WAS based off the cut Halo 3 campaign levels, and it was too late when they got cut to re-work Guardian's appearance. Sure does a good job of making the map look fairly unique.
That's crazy, I just wish there wasn't a 2:30 long video of this kid's life story before the actual tutorial.

That only took 5 years. Looks to be not a big deal unless HLG kids want to piss off their opponents.
So back from GamesCom and now at home again.
good convention, played a lot and won a lot of stuff.
the craziest part was that Halo 4 was one the advertising screens, where all the other games were shown that are there and to know itself isn't there.
Back at GAF I see a new OT, a banned zoojoo and the interview with grifballhub about forge was a let down.
Ok, how is it going? I have to check if my xbox can connect to the internet again

First up, behind the scenes look at a day in the life of the Playlist Management team (all 2 of the guys).
In what way? Recently played MW2 and Blops and I even wonder why I liked those games before.
